ort of craft for carrying on trade. In the absence of positive information, rumors always rush in to supply its place, as the air rushes in wherever a vacuum has been formed. There were any number of rumors in town yesterday with regard to Gen. Lee, Gen. Hooker, Gen. Ewell, Milroy, and the town of Winchester. Some of these may be seen in another column. None of them seem entitled to much consideration. Hooker, however, seems certainly to have evacuated Stafford. That we learn from a suver, seems certainly to have evacuated Stafford. That we learn from a sure source, and not from rumor. What his aim may be, nobody is able to conjecture; but the Yankee papers have been for some time indulging in every manner of speculation with regard to the movements of Gen.

His reinforcements have been drawn from the Blackwater and North and South Carolina. A large portion of them are new troops. Some of the new regiments number each from eight hundred to eleven hundred men. His command is divided into three corps, averaging, according to report, thirty thousand men each.

f the popular sentiment, evince much desire for the possession of Washington, on its own account, that once famous capital having become the meanest and filthiest hole of moral, political, and physical pollution in the whole Yankee land. Unless Gen. Lee can take with him chloride of lime, tar, and other disinfectants in sufficient quantity to purify Sodom and Gomorrah, he would be exposing his noble army to all sorts of pestilences, of both body and soul, to quarter them in Washington.--That ciefit to mankind to capture the whole motley crew, from the contrabands down to the Cabinet and the President, and we should certainly advocate it if consistent with military policy and the sanitary condition of the army. These are matters which Gen. Lee must judge of; but, as at present advice, we would dread bringing our soldiers into contact with such a standing pond of corruption as the Federal capital. Happily, if it should be deemed advisable by our military chiefs, there are more v

e whether the war is to end with the present year, or to drag on to the close of President Lincoln's term, or "later." The Daily News says: "The campaign south of the Rappahannock must be added to the list of Federal failures; but, although Gen. Lee announces a great victory, he does not announce that he has pursued a flying enemy, or that he holds a foot of ground more than he did when Hooker began to move." The Star says: "The honest confession of disaster would be more dignified on are filling up, and Fremont will have his day. The Herald says that Hooker had no alternative but to retreat. The Morning Post observes that the Southern Generals have been censured for not following up their victories. Considering the difficulty of replacing men out of a comparatively small population, it does not blame Lee for not renewing the attack on Hooker's lines, but does not understand how he managed to allow the Federal commander to effect his retreat with such facility.
